TP-Link Omada
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Or TP Link Omada. Both are great networking options with management.
- I’ve had no problems ever with my full Omada system.
- I know Omada can configure that as PPSK with or without RADIUS.
- I used to have a TP-LINK Omada series AP and it worked great and if my house were larger, it could easily have operated in a "seamless roaming" setup where it coordinated with multiple other Omada series APs to behave like one big access...
- Switching & Wi-Fi: TP-Link Omada managed switch + Omada APs (controller self-hosted)
Cons
- I want to use a cordless outdoor access point like a TP-Link Omada or something similar that gets long range reception
- Finally, there's Omada routers, which is like an older version of UniFi with less powerful router options. ... Just be aware that the US government is still talking about banning TP-Link.
- If you're looking to stay with TP-Link, their prosumer Omada line offers plenty of APs also (though not mesh compatible as far as I know).
- I looked into the TP-Link Omada stuff. The ER605 as a router, for example. But I'm not sure if that's good hardware for my use-case and if it would be powerful enough to run OPNSense.
- I don't recommend the Omada line any more, since the price went up and the software didn't keep up. I ended up switching back to UniFi.

Another vote for Omada. Running 2x EAP773 at each location, ~2300sqft split level house and ~1600sqft two story house. Strong coverage throughout and stability.
Might be a bit oversize but recently moved to TP-Link Omada. Used to use Asus (home) routers/AP and absolutely happy about the move!
I am about to get some TP-Link Omada devices (which seem to be way cheaper than UbiQuiti devices) to realize that VLAN Concept
Because you will have multiple APs, you should look at using something like Ubiquiti or similar (tp-link Omada). Which gives you control and automatic AP provisioning, device roaming etc.
It's a great choice though (I have Omada, but it's the same concept) because you can often remotely troubleshoot. Like just log into the cloud controller and go for it. Rebooting the whole system if needed, firmware updates to the APs, etc. once you go through the basic wizard to set it up, it's very just "forget about it".
